AFAICT, mod_wsgi can be 'separate enough', leaving Apache free to host
static files.

another setup is a light and fast server (lighttpd, nginx, cherokee)
plus Django on FastCGI.  again, it's two separate processes (web
server / FastCGI server).

in short, it seems that these days the main thing to avoid is
mod_python and static files on the same Apache instance.

 I used to - but have you tried it with the csrf_token? my server broke on 
that and I stopped using tornado.

Re: django & wsgi: what is the preferred webserver?

What about using tornado as wsgi server behind nginx?

I made some improvements to the management command published at
http://geekscrap.com/2010/02/integrate-tornado-in-django/

You can check the code and sample project here:
http://github.com/darkrho/django-on-tornado

May not be heavy production tested but could use less cpu and memory.

I made an unscientific comparison on a low end p4 with a simple return
HttpResponse("hello world") :
 - django's runserver:~280 reqs/sec
 - django on cherrypy   ~320 reqs/sec
 - django on tornado ~380 reqs/sec

YMMV. I will move my projects on webfaction from apache+mod_wsgi to
tornado with supervisord.

Somebody else thinks that django on tornado could be a winning combination?

Regards,

Rolando

Cherokee is what I use since quite a while now. Before that, Apache. I
would never go back since Cherokee is imo way easier to set up and
maintain plus is a lot faster in its basic setup than compared to Apache
in its basic setup (what the .debs give you).

Have a look here:

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ServerArrangements

In general, you should have two Web servers (e.g. Apache and nginx or  
lighttpd). Apache (with mod_wsgi) to serve Django and nginx or  
lighttpd to serve the static files (CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.).


I'm not an expert in hosting, so hopefully others with experience  
setting up a variety of methods will chime in with real-word experience.

django & wsgi: what is the preferred webserver?

[anton]

Hi,

I am new to django and wanted to set up a webserver
and use apache or lighttpd.

As I understood wsgi is the preffered ( most performant) way
to use python & a web server.

I heard that apache has a mod_wsgi and wanted to ask if 
there exists such a module for lighttpd too?

What would you propose to use:
 - apache + mod_wsgi
 - or lighttpd + ??

Anton
